    Italy does import leather, but their tanneries do the processing and colouring. Nigeria does not have the same quality leather after processing and colouring. I only know that Italian product are labelled, "for instance" as.... Italian leather handbag , jacket or shoes, because its made there. Maybe the cheaper Italian manufacturers or knock offs are advertising it as Italian leather. Italy has been the top country for tanning and colouring leather for centuries. (This can be googled) Its all in how the language is used.
    It seems like Nigeria does not have the same quality processed leather or sought after styling, so its not worth it to mention it synonymously with Italian made products. This will mean now that Nigerias name will not appear on any Italian products as its not required if the wording is used correctly.
    At the end of the day, it seems like you want recognition for having cattle (nearly every country on the planet has them), so, its just a lot of noise about nothing.
